ПРЕДИСЛОВИЕ 

Современные выпускники вузов должны иметь определенные профессиональные и общекультурные компетенции. 
Иностранный язык имеет в этом перечне свое значение.

Для достижения необходимого уровня владения иностранным языком сегодня на рынке присутствует большое разнообразие учебно‑методических комплексов. Особое место 
занимают учебные издания по грамматике. Не всегда просто 
выбрать нужное, учитывая их высокую стоимость. Данный 
практикум поможет решить эту проблему.

Учебный практикум «Verb tenses» предназначено для отработки употребления различных видовременных форм глаголов английского языка. Практикум состоит из трех частей 
и объединяет 8 разделов, включающих практические задания 
различного уровня сложности: низкого, среднего и повышенного. Каждый уровень сложности имеет свое обозначение: А, 
В, С соответственно. Это поможет преподавателю и студентам правильно подобрать практические задания. Задания внутри каждого раздела и уровня сложности также представлены 
от простых к сложным, что позволяет постепенно наращивать 
практические навыки.

Практикум «Verb tenses» включает в себя также приложения 

со справочными материалами и ответами к практическим заданиям. Это обеспечивает возможность использования пособия 
для самостоятельной работы и самообучения.

Практикум составлен на основе публикаций британских 

и американских изданий последних лет.

В целом, практикум направлен на развитие различных видов речевой деятельности студентов и магистрантов.
